Yes. As well as taking care of your wellbeing, resilience and longer term career plans, I will help you to excel at all areas of your role. This includes: vision and strategy alignment with constitutional and stakeholders’ needs; leadership and management of large complex organisations;  organisational representation and advocacy at the centre of global agendas; policy and advice to global bodies; implementation of strategies and programmes; and governance.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, this is the highest level of award that a psychologist in the UK can attain. I am not a clinician, rather I am an expert in coaching psychology and specifically regarding the workplace. This includes: leadership; performance; interpersonal communication; the psychology of work and motivation; career psychology; as well as self-care and emotional regulation at work.

Yes. A recent systematic umbrella review found that leadership development courses overlook the personal self-awareness needed for success as a senior public health or medical leader. This self-awareness is best achieved through a highly confidential and trusted coaching partnership based on the theory and practice of coaching psychology. The positive impact of my work has been published in peer reviewed journals including the British Medical Journal, BMJ Leader.

I am a very experienced educator and trainer, and can ensure that you are fully up to date with the latest psychological theory and evidence base relating to leadership, careers and wellbeing at work. These will be designed around your needs and delivered in a 1:1 format.  As well as the work we do in coaching sessions, I will help you develop the crucial public health and medical leadership skills needed for your professional success.

Yes, absolutely. Adults learn best by doing. The Partnership is based on initial and ongoing needs assessments using validated psychometrics and ensures a truly bespoke, unique, customised to fit your personal and professional needs, which is flexible and responsive to whatever you have to deal with in your highly dynamic, high-stakes environment.

Yes. As a Chartered Coaching Psychologist, all my work is evidence-based and grounded in the latest psychological theory of leadership, wellbeing and careers, including cognitive-behavioural, adult development, and leadership psychology theories. This approach ensures you are able to achieve your professional goals and responsibilities.

I am absolutely a peer in our relationship. I take a deeply committed, genuine interest in you and your work. I provide an exemplary professional partnership, with high support and high challenge in a personalised relationship.  My qualifications, skills and experience are globally unique and world-leading, and enable me to meet you as a peer in your own global health leadership career. I bring my whole self to each moment with you, guided by my longstanding values of partnership, expertise, curiosity, compassion, empowerment, and being present.

I am wholeheartedly committed to improving health outcomes at scale and reducing health inequalities, and have spent three decades improving population health. Over the last ten years of working independently, I have gained the skills and professional competence required to provide a trusted partnership to the world’s most senior health leaders. I support and develop outstanding medical and public health leaders who are able to thrive in complexity and chaos, bring clarity and compassion to those they serve, and to take care of themselves in order to enable their own best work.

Yes. I fully understand how high the stakes are for senior health leaders globally, and the potential for adverse reputational risk. Discretion and confidentiality are absolutely at the heart of my professional practice. The only exceptions are where there are safeguarding concerns, or concerns about illegal activity. Please see my privacy and confidentiality policy for more information.

I mainly work on a 1:1 basis with a small number of senior leaders at any time to provide a high-intensity, excellent quality service. This means I am able to be fully present and provide responsive, world-class support. I deliver a small amount of group-based training and development but the majority of my work is supporting very senior health leaders to be effective in extreme complexity, dynamic and often chaotic environments.

Yes. Coaching for doctors of medicine and public health leaders is emerging as the most effective method of leadership development, and is the only evidence-based method which can respond to the dynamic context you lead in. The impacts are sustained because you will learn evidence-based approaches to enhance your performance, self care and career planning as a global health leader.
